Hi folks, I wanted to get some feedback for my idea for a tale or series of tales about a battleship or more likely a big stealth submarine that acts as a mobile containment site. Their primary mission is to retrieve SCPs and transport them to permanent containment sites. Since they transport a lot of newly discovered SCPs, they have to be very adaptable and do research and develop rudimentary containment procedures on the fly.

I was also looking for potential names for the vessel. If possible, it would be really cool to have it named after an important figure in SCP history, someone who made a huge contribution to the Foundation or something like that. But any ideas are welcome.

Let me know if this seems like something worth exploring! Thanks for reading!

How exactly are you going to use this ship? In a tale? I suppose it could be interesting to have a tale series involving it.

But why is it needed at all? Like, what kind of situation would necessitate the use of such massive vehicle, instead of transporting items individually? Putting many eggs in one basket seems impractical and involves too much risk. Why is it a sea vessel anyway?

I'd like to imagine that it is used in the rare occasion when transporting many things at the same time is necessary. It could also be used for moving extremely large SCPs, perhaps even whole buildings. I think this would be a cool and perhaps necessary asset to the foundation.
The best use i could find for this is as a temporary holding space for SCPs after a containment breach. A tale about personnel quickly having to build containment cells, as SCP are captured and recovered, could be entertaining.

Honestly i just really like to picture a huge underwater storage submarine. One where the crew is isolated in the dark with dangerous and poorly understood entities.

As for the naming, I don't think the foundation would use a nostalgic or grandiose one but rather a more clinical ans simple one. Something like, SCV Prim. (Safe Containment Vessel prim)

There wouldn't be any SCPs permanently contained on board I don't think, and I imagine they wouldn't be capable of containing more than two or three especially dangerous SCPs. Also, I may have exaggerated the size a little bit.

It's been established that the Foundation has a fleet of naval vessels under its command, right? Maybe this could be the most advanced of their vessels. It could serve a multitude of purposes. It could get called in to transport any SCP that's too dangerous to just be locked in a crate and flown across the ocean. At times it could act as a research base for identifying, tracking, and studying aquatic SCPs (which I do need to read up on). There also clear tactical advantages to having a sophisticated stealth submarine in their arsenal, which I imagine would be armed with nuclear warheads in case final contingencies need to be enacted. In general, I think its greatest asset would be its adaptability.

I was also thinking there could be some backstory where it was the pet project of one O5 member, but now it's considered an impractical use of resources, which means the crew would have to learn to be self-sufficient and not rely on the Foundation for help at times, even though they do go up against highly dangerous and poorly understood threats on a regular basis.
